Instruction comes from many directions in The Math Movement.

The senior staff who will be lecturing students include adults with an extensive range of teaching experience;
we have middle and high school teachers, a professor of mathematics, a coding entrepreneur, and an economics researcher.

We have a family trip scheduled that conflicts with the first day / week of TMM. Can my child be excused?
Our philosophy at TMM is that one cannot learn if one is not present. Therefore, absences due to family trips, vacations, conflicts with other programs, or similar cases are not excused.
